If you peel away the sticker with the logo, there are screws  
underneath it. You may want to leave it on, because the horns that  
used that weight did not have a full brace under the weight, just two  
little stubs. Basically, the weight is also the brace.

call, the voice of the soul, the power of transformation, character  
and forgiveness. It is the icon of world peace, the herald of the new  
paradigm."
